6.4 Throttle Input Settings

These settings allow you to modify how the throttle input signal coming into the
CA3 device is mapped to a throttle output signal going to the motor controller.
The default values (pass-thru input of 1.0-4.0V) generally work fine with a broad
range of ebike systems using hall effect throttles and there is little need to
change them in order to have a working setup. However, advanced users may
want to tweak the throttle settings in order to achieve specific behaviors.
The preview screen on the Throttle Input setup menu shows the actual throttle
voltage that is measured by the CA device, and as you turn the throttle you
should see this number increase from 0.8-0.9V to 4.1-4.2V, and the percent
throttle indicator should go from 0% to 99%.
6.4.1 Throttle Input Thresholds
The Zero and Full throttle thresholds allow you to adjust the deadband at the
start and end of your throttle motion. It is important that the throttle off voltage on
the preview screen is at least 0.1V LOWER than the zero throttle threshold. You
do not want to make these values identical, or a slight drift in voltage will cause
the CA device to think you have the throttle slighly engaged all the time.
6.4.2 Throttle Mode
The throttle mode setting allows you to change the function of the input throttle.
With most ebike controllers the throttle sets the unloaded RPM of the motor, so
50% throttle would result in the motor running at half speed. At higher RPM's
there would be no more motor power, while at lower RPM's you will still have the
